  What do you do when everything you’ve held to be true, when your entire life, in fact, turns out to be a lie? When 22-year-old Steve Cline learns that he’s illegitimate, and his real father is a race- horse trainer, he heads to the Maryland track. Steve’s father recruits him to work undercover in an effort to discover who’s been doping his most promising horses, and he quickly gets caught up in the unique lifestyle inherent to the backside. But it is not a life without peril because some men are willing to do anything to get the right horse under the wire first.  
  REVIEWS: 
  "Hidden away from the glittering stage of thoroughbred racing, with its flashing silks and gleaming horseflesh, is a place they call ''the backside.'' In her second stable mystery, DEAD MAN'S TOUCH, Kit Ehrman refers to this behind-the-scenes area -- where trainers, grooms, barn managers and stable hands minister around the clock to the needs of their high-strung charges -- as ''a world unto itself.'' Ehrman, who has worked at show barns and breeding farms, strikes a solid claim to this gritty territory with another heels-up thriller that takes up where Dick Francis left off. In the barn. Steve Cline, the young stable hand who made such a strong and sympathetic hero in ''At Risk,'' searches out the father he never knew, a thoroughbred trainer at a Maryland racetrack, and signs on as a ''hot-walker,'' a lowly exercise worker, when he discovers that someone has been fixing races by tampering with his father's horses. In true Francis tradition, Steve takes plenty of physical punishment as a sleuth. But his undercover role also gives him the inside track on life as it's lived on the backside, a grueling, even squalid existence that pays off in the chance to get close to the magnificent animals that have more character and heart than the two-footed fools who view them as a commodity." --Marilyn Stasio, NY Times --

  Three hard-hitting crime thrillers in one volume featuring “a protagonist that the reader really gets behind and cares about” (By the Letter Book Reviews). 
   
  This collection of mysteries following the career of California cop Leighton Jones includes: 
   
  The Girl on the Bus: Emotionally isolated Vicki Reiner craves the fleeting happiness she experienced prior to her college graduation. To recapture this, she invites an old friend for a break at her deserted beachside home. But despite booking a bus ticket, her friend never shows up. The police dismiss her concerns—but newly retired detective Leighton Jones, haunted by his own devastating loss, finds it hard not to be drawn into Vicki’s search for the truth, and a quest that will take them across the dusty highways of North America . . . 
   
  Carpenter Road: After traffic officer Leighton Jones is called to an altercation in a used car lot, he is confronted by a prostitute rambling on about a girl who stole her coat. He thinks nothing off it. That is until the body of a Jane Doe shows up, matching the prostitute’s description . . . 
   
  Toys in the Dust: Two little girls, Tina and Suzy, are playing when a stranger appears and strikes up a conversation. He is sad that he doesn’t have a doll to play with like the girls do, so Suzy hurries home to fetch one. When she returns, Suzy discovers both Tina and the stranger have vanished. Later, Leighton Jones sees a young girl race out in front of his car and vanish into the countryside, but his superiors, increasingly concerned about Leighton’s mental health, doubt the child exists. Meanwhile, in the California countryside, a killer is relentlessly searching for the one who got away . . .

  Ace Ventura meets the Addams Family!   A shambling horde of new cases hits Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. in the Unnatural Quarter. Dan and his gang—including his ghost girlfriend, feisty lawyer partner, cop best friend, and little vampire half-daughter Alvina—are out to seek justice, solve mysteries, and keep their heads on straight … or at least attached.   Alvina’s singing lessons for the Banshee Tabernacle Choir end on a sour note when the troll choir director plunges to her death from a high belfry, and the only witness is a deaf-as-a-post gargoyle who sits too close to the loud bells.   A frustrated imp, woefully unsuccessful in betting on the nightmare races, is dead certain that his bookie BatGN (GN for “gender neutral” to avoid copyright issues) is cheating him.   Francine, the salty bartender at the Goblin Tavern, is worried when One Fang the vampire—her on-again, off-again suitor—disappears without a trace.   A shady vendor discovers a market for living shrunken heads that are conversational as well as decorative, but the demand by far exceeds the supply.   A heartless therapist has ulterior motives when she counsels zombies, distracting them from their woes to concentrate not just on brains, but on self-improvement as well.   There is much at stake in the Unnatural Quarter, and it’s up to Dan Shamble to keep the streets dark and safe for monsters and humans alike. After all, the cases don’t solve themselves!   This zombie detective puts the P.I. back in R.I.P.

  Under a light rain, Mike Mansfield stands stoically beneath a large elm tree, waiting patiently for the person he has been searching for. Burly and in his mid-fifties, Mansfield was what some might call chaotically good—a person with an unshakable sense of right and wrong, and a very unique brand of justice.  
    
  However, what Mansfield doesn’t know is that after years of working in the shadows, someone has now found him. And they have been watching Mansfield for sometime.  
    
  That person is David Bruni. A man with both the money and opportunity to do something truly astonishing with modern technology. He too has been working in secret … to build a supercomputer capable of ‘stitching’ together the billions of pictures taken every day to create snapshots of the world at any given time.  
    
  The capability proves to be extraordinary, and one that has coincidentally revealed to Bruni the secret behind Mike Mansfield’s enigmatic success at finding people no one else can. A well-kept secret not even Bruni would have expected.  
    
  Yet it’s not until a third critical piece appears, a young INTERPOL agent named Leslie Salazar, that Bruni’s true reason for creating his incredible system finally becomes clear.  
    
  For years no one had any idea what Bruni was up to … and that was exactly the way he wanted it.
